The Heritage Of The Righteous

Ps 37 has wonderful promises for me and it's such a delight to read it over and over again.

Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord.... He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light. And your justice as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him... for those who wait on the Lord shall inherit the earth. The meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down. For the Lord upholds him with His hand....Yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.

The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

Wait on the Lord, keep His way, He shall exalt you to inherit the land. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright, for the future of that man is peace.

Thank you Lord, for Your promises which I can claim and appropriate for my life.
